How to migrate resources to Dolphin 6?

Hi everyone,

i'm new to the group but no to the Smalltalk world. I've been using
Smalltalk mostly at university and also for some private projects.

I'm trying the new Community Edition and putting some tools we've
developed for the students to work; but i'm finding a bit hard to
upgrade resources.

If a export a Dolphin 5 package from the old installation and import it
into a Community Edition image, the process halt with an error (because
it's reading the resource binary code and looks for ResourceView class
wich doesnt exists anymore). So far (2 resources) the "i-hate-everyone"
solution is "truncate" the package, do not import the resources, and
recreate them later with lots of pacience.

I know there's a better solution. Can you point me in the right
direction?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Take a look at this thread. DCE is missing the "Dolphin Legacy
Resources" package which you can install from this message:

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/comp.lang.smalltalk.dolphin/browse_frm/
thread/101edffcc0af0442/76b030fb65bcfe99?lnk=st&q=dolphin+smalltalk+lega
cy+resource+framework&rnum=1&hl=en-GB#76b030fb65bcfe99

The problem will be fixed in the next release.

Thank you very much. I imported successfully my old packages! Now i'm
battling with the new views for Method source and others tools, but
that's another problem.

Saludos/Greetings,
